Exhibit 3: Walter White

We have others, but they don’t get elected as chancellors.

Even if the code is flawless now, all it takes is a single flawed line of new code. This is of course true for all languages, but type safety helps a lot as some types of flaws would not compile.

I once had a hammer head get loose and fly off the handle.

• Talk to your colleagues: clarify requirements, question assumptions, get feedback, talk about best practices and why you do stuff the way you do it
• Single responsibility principle

in this world, getting organized to a degree that it would help is near impossible.

Relevant user name ;)

I think our side should put more focus on the structures. If a system e.g. let’s Taylor Swift fly around in a private jet and even rewards her with more money from concerts and increased brand value, I can obviously still blame her (because she didn’t have to do it). But if I want things to change, I need to change the system.

I was using the wording of OP who seems to be talking about tokens. The service asks the trusted entity if the token is valid, the trusted entity deletes the token after the first time.

Making the certs short-lived (a few minutes) and single use and having a rate limit for users could make it difficult enough with serious risks (if you make it a crime) for little profit (I doubt many kids will pay serious amounts of money to watch porn; definetly not drug-scale amounts of money).

“Kids shouldn’t be driving cars, it isn’t safe!” Yes, but somehow we have made it 100 years without requiring proof of age/license to start the car.

Driving is a much more visible activity than looking at your phone in a locked room though.

Signups + random checks to prevent reselling accounts.

They can only subpoena your data if it is stored. Make the code open source (by law) and only store the cert, no connection to the user.

How do you prevent valid certs from being sold?

Sold by whom? The created cert can be time limited and single use, so the service couldn’t really sell them. You could rate limit how many certs users can create and obviously make it illegal to share them in order to deter people from using them. That’s not enough to prevent it completetly, but should be an improvement for the use cases I hear the most about: social media (because it reduces the network effect) and porn (because kids will at least know that they’re doing some real shady shit).

Text messages allegedly sent by Graven to his mother before his death paint a troubling picture. “I feel like I’m held hostage with their concept,” one message reportedly read. “I’m sick of it, I want to leave, but he does not want to let me, he keeps me from leaving.”

That does not sound like “an individual doing stupid shit”.

DW is Deutsche Welle - a German international broadcaster.

Why would we uninstall France?

Okay, who spies on me when I use e.g. Signal?
